"Be Deep" is available on Spotify, but it's under "Tae Jin Son". It won't show up in a search for "Son Tae Jin" or "Wendy".

Great article on Kpop from The Post at Ohio University:

Here's an excerpt:

One of the most recent hits Wik was on the writing table for was South Korean girl group Red Velvet’s “QUEENDOM.” She said the writer’s table was four women, which, in the music industry, is impressive as the business side of the industry is frequently male-dominated. The track was written in record time because it had that once-in-a-lifetime flow to it, Wik said.

“I think we finished that whole session in about like, four-and-a-half hours, writing and recording everything, and then obviously there was some post-production,” Wik said. “But like the writing of the song and the recording of the song happened really fast and it really came out so good.”

wandj221 has a long translation thread on Wendy's comments regarding the raft segment in a LUP episode.



Here's the rest of the translation:

I think it's because many people empathize with this. To tell you the story of this, I didn't know at first. I was pulling it, and I didn't know (I was pulling it alone), and I thought, "This rope is very stiff" I didn't know who wasn't pulling when the members said, "Yay!"

I knew it later. Maybe that's why I wasn't wearing a jacket alone because it was hot. This meme is about us riding on a raft on the water and pulling the rope. But maknae wasn't there, maknae ran away. She sits comfortably on the rock. She said she didn't want to ride it.

And the other members and I rode it, and I'm in the front, followed by Irene unnie, Joy, and Seulgi. I'm pulling it alone. Seulgi smiles brightly and doesn't pull at all. And there are two people who put the rope while pretending to help.

From the beginning to the end, I pulled hard. It was really hot that day. All the other members were wearing jackets, but I was the only one wearing short sleeves. (Laughter) Maknae is sitting like a traveler resting on the rock.

In a Reddit thread someone pointed out that Wendy made the proper chess moves in the following trailer. It looks like she did the sequence Nd2, Nf3:

Wendy and Son Tae Jin perform most of Be Deep on SBS Youngstreet. I like this clip because Wendy's voice is relatively louder (some would say "more forward") compared to the studio recording.

warmblue has a long translation thread of an exchange between Wendy and Son Taejin on SBS Youngstreet.

Talking about <Be Deep>

Wendy: When I first received the song [demo], the version already had Son Taejin-nim’s voice recorded. And I thought, my voice is going to be added onto such beautiful voice and such beautiful song!?

Son Taejin: It was the opposite - for me on the contrary, I thought that if Wendy sang it, that’s just perfect

Son Taejin: Honestly, I wouldn’t know what it [the end product] would be like until you recorded, but you exceeded my expectations. I’m speaking from my heart. I was there with the two from MeloMance when you recorded - and we were out there [of the recording booth] clapping and letting out breathes of satisfaction. I’m serious!

Wendy: You even came to see me record even though you had a schedule. Although it was only 5 minutes, you came although you only had such little time to spare, I was so thankful

Son Taejin: I had no choice but to go, THE Wendy came.

Son Taejin: In my stance, of course I must go and listen.

Son Taejin: I never sang <Be Deep> in any other broadcasts even when they requested, because I wanted YS to be the first time. I’ve been saving it for this day.

Son Taejin: Honestly, to talk about the recording process, it ended very quickly

Wendy: No…

Son Taejin: No it really did end very quickly. Also, the atmopshere in recording booths are usually very sensitive for everyone

Wendy: Really? I felt very good though?

STJ: But you were so bright, so we just admired

Wendy: No no. I really like recording. I personally felt that I took quite long though

STJ: No not at all! On the contrary, it seems like you’re a perfectionist, so you weren’t satisfied with yourself. I felt that you sang really well.

Wanso: I feel like listening to a Christmas carol after listening to <Be Deep>

Son Taejin: By the way, I really like Wendy’s Christmas carol. <Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas>. It’s really wow.

Son Taejin: I actually imagined how it [end result of Be Deep] would be like while listening to that song. You kinda have a Disney-like voice, and I thought that would really fit very well. <Be Deep> really does seem like a carol song too, fit for winter.

Son Taejin: What surprised me was, while recording, I wondered if what I was hearing is really live, or they’re just playing the recorded audio. I mean, although there’s no harm to compliment, what I said is really from the bottom of my heart.

Talking about Christmas carols:

Wendy: If you have some free time this Christmas, would you by any chance, be able to come to YS and sing some duet carols with me?

Son Taejin: I can even cancel all the schedules that I have
